@SaintsExtra@AlfieHouseEcho Our whole argument is that the spying didn’t give us a sporting advantage. Therefore him, Phil and Spors created a team that was on the brink of autos
Like us, they (apparently) didn’t see this coming
If they truly didn’t know then we have to trust them
@IamBalhamMatt Or why it’s now considered worse than financial irregularities which over the course of the season give you more of a sporting advantage when you buy/pay better players
@EFL_Comms Interesting precedent set
Don’t act in good faiith (assume that means financial as well) and you get -2 points for every team you played whilst financially cheating and kicked out the play offs if you make it with a squad bought over the spending cap. Surely it’s the same?
@Boropolis So pull out and allow Hull to be promoted. That’s porting integrity. Now it’s done and dusted we all know that the impact on the game was negligible and you lost over 210 minutes. Boro don’t deserve the shot at the premier league the same as Millwall and Wrexham don’t
@FTT_1878@secondtierpod No one is blaming Boro, it’s someone in Saints that will get the sack. But it Boro care so much about sporting integrity don’t take a free place you don’t earn on the pitch
@Dendog_UK@DomShawEcho So that had more of an impact on the result than the spying did? Hence our argument over a proportionate punishment not an emotive one
@Dendog_UK@DomShawEcho So why didn’t you win the game if we couldn’t cope with you?
No one debates the cheating it’s the proportionate punishment in question
Read the article - no facts at all and why haven’t those clubs reported it?
@Dendog_UK@DomShawEcho I would expect a professional manager to be able to adapt to a teams change in shape multiple times mid game. And also Boro battered Saints in the first leg and should have been 3-0 up at HT let alone at the end of the game
@utb1980 Agree but they don’t unfortunately. Which is why exclusion in my slightly biased opinion is harsh.
No one I know supports the club in what happened but just feel it needs to be proportionate with other cheating offence’s and not made an example of for the sake of it
